Patent EP-0398058-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SPARROW JAMES ALAN
IPC: G21C3/12
Filed: 1990-04-27
Abstract: The invention concerns an expandable top nozzle subassembly (12) for a nuclear fuel assembly, including a lower or adapter plate (26), a top or hold-down plate (30), and hold-down springs (60) disposed between the top and adapter plates to transmit to the adapter plate hold-­down forces applied to the top plate. 
     The top plate (30) is part of an upper structure (24) including a sidewall enclosure (32) which is integ­rally connected to and depends from the outer peripheral edge (30A) of the top plate (30), the adapter plate (26) being captively disposed within the sidewall enclosure in a manner permitting relative movement between it and the upper structure (24). 
     This arrangement permits the adapter plate (30) to be mounted higher on the control-rod guide thimbles (16), thereby allowing for more fuel-rod growth, and still leaves enough room between the top and adapter plates for handling equipment to be engaged.

Abstract: The ski boot has a basic shell which receives the foot. Formed thereon is a shaft which supports the lower leg and which, for rear entry, has a rear cuff which is pivotable about a pivot bearing. A closure closes the shaft. The ski boot is to reduce the risk of injury in the backward lean. To this end, it is envisaged that the closure contains a limit-force release device for the relatively rigid shaft. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an expanding tool for a shaping device, in particular a forging die, for the production of hollow workpieces, having a ram and an expanding sleeve which accommodates the free end portion of the latter positively in a location opening, consists of radially movable segments separated by parting seams and the outer contour of which corresponds to the inner contour of the workpiece, the parting seams being formed by mutually adjoining boundary surfaces of adjacent segments. In known expanding tools, the segments are separated from one another by radially extending parting seams which widen when the expanding sleeve is expanded, with the result that plastic or molten workpiece material can penetrate during the shaping operation. In order to prevent an increase in the width of the parting seams between the segments during the expansion of the expanding sleeve, an even number of at least four segments is provided according to the invention, the planes of the parting seams extending outside the longitudinal centre axis of the expanding sleeve (2) such that, with the expanding sleeve (2) expanded, the parting seams are closed in the region of their outer contour. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Equipment for ascertaining public buying habits comprises a portable terminal (1) coupled to a modem (2) whereby a remote station can supply data to and read data from the terminal. A bar code reader (8) is coupled to the terminal (1). A code book (3) contains groups of bar codes (9) pertaining to respective products or product types. The code reader (8) is used to read a first code of a group to define the product type purchased. This causes the terminal to select a series of prompts pertaining to that product type from downloadable table. The prompts are presented in sequence at the terminal and are answered by using the code reader to read bar codes from respective sets of the selected group, the sets defining attributes of the product or product type. The bar codes in each set define values lying within specific ranges verified by the terminal before proceeding to the next prompt.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a non-dispersive infrared gas analyzer especially adapted for measuring the concentrations of HC, CO and CO 2  in a vehicle exhaust is described. The analyzer includes a sample chamber (42) for holding a sample gas, a radiation emitter (48) for directing a beam through the chamber and a detector (70) for indicating the amount of radiation absorbed. A plurality of filters each of which transmits radiation at an absorption band of a gas component to be detected are alternatingly positioned in the radiation path to produce a time-multiplexed signal having concentration information for all gases. A calibration assembly is provided which includes a plurality of calibration cells (142) selectively positionable in the radiation path in order to provide an internal calibration standard for two-point calibration of each gas channel. The cells contain one or more of the gas components to be measured at concentrations and pressures predetermined to compensate for the difference in optical path length between the calibration cells and the sample chamber A technique is provided for characterizing the calibration cells in situ after a conventional calibration using bottled calibration gas is performed. The time-multiplexed detector output is corrected for gain and offset errors "on-the-fly" without requiring demultiplexing through the use of an analog multiplier circuit. The correction factors are themselves determined without demultiplexing the detector output signal.

Abstract: The ski boot has a lower shell (1) and a front shaft part (2) and a rear shaft part (3) which consists of a lower section (4) articulated pivotably on the lower shell (1) and of an upper section (5) articulated pivotably on the lower section by means of a pivot pin (17). The closure means have a tensioning cable (18) fastened with the end on the front shaft part (2) and a tensioning lever (20) which is connected to the other tensioning cable end and the lever pin (21) of which is arranged on a spring mounting (22) situated on the rear side of the rear shaft part (3). This mounting is secured by means of a locking catch (23) on a locking pin (25) which is rigidly connected to the lower section (4) of the rear shaft part. A pressure spring (24) arranged in the spring mounting is tensioned when the tensioning lever (20) is pivoted downwards. The ski boot is to reduce the risk of injury in backward lean, in particular in the knee region. In backward lean, the upper section (5) of the rear shaft part (3) is first pivoted backwards and the locking catch (23) passes out of its locking position. Subsequently, by movement of the spring mounting, the system consisting of tensioning lever (20) and spring mounting (22) passes backwards out of the upper dead centre position so that the lower section (4) of the rear shaft part can also pivot backwards into the open position. The leg is braked softly backwards in a two-stage opening movement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital signal sequence received over a potentially noisy channel is decoded by comparison of part of the sequence with a locally generated estimated sequence to generate an error function corresponding to the difference between the signal. The estimated sequence is repeatedly perturbed and the error function recomputed to obtain a minimum error. Each recomputation of the error function is carried out only over the merge length of the two signals. This significantly reduces the total number of computations required. The process is repeated in bit wise steps along the received sequence to obtain a most probable signal sequence.

Abstract: A graphics workstation displays surface models generated with computer aided design (CAD) software or three-dimensional volumetric data. A model clipping circuit determines points which are to be displayed corresponding to the model cut plane desired. A rotate circuit transforms the point and normal display list according to the desired orientation, and also converts the normal vectors into levels of shading according to the direction of the normal vector. The voxels in the transformed display list are clipped to a desired screen viewing region by a screen clipping circuit. A shading circuit replaces the back-facing surface points with a constant color, and allows the front-facing surface points to be shaded normally. An AND circuit allows update of the depth buffer and an image memory buffer for voxels which do not lie behind other surfaces. An image buffer memory provides a screen map which is displayed on a monitor. The image produced exhibits only front-facing surfaces and replaces back-facing surfaces with a constant color, resulting in a more recognizable image. The surface models are manipulated with a solid cut much more rapidly on a low end workstation than would be possible using conventional methods.
